Constructed from 304 stainless steel with a zinc-plated M10 bolt, steel gasket and aluminum alloy I-block, the clamp uses a 3\" (76.7 mm) wide strap to deliver a 360° even-pressure seal rated for 63 N·m torque. It’s intended for standard 4.0\" outer diameter pipes and ships as a single unit for straightforward installation or removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this clamp create a reliable seal on an exhaust butt joint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EVIL ENERGY clamp encircles both pipe ends and compresses evenly around the joint, reducing gaps and preventing deformation.
